How many of you have multiple gardening projects that have yet to begin? If I ask you to take a photo of your lawn/garden right now would you do it? Would you be proud of it? If you answered no, then we are in the same boat.

My "garden" is huge and we have yet to start making it our own, even after living in this house for many years. Like many people, we sometimes neglect our garden because to do everything that we want to do, we need time and money.

Many of you that watch my daily vlogs know that my boyfriend and I tend to use the grill often. A few weeks ago our old grill literally died. It collapsed! RIP grill! When that happened, I said to myself "Ale, you need to auto-gift yourself a grill for your Birthday and, even though you cannot change everything that you want to change in your garden, start in small section that will make your grill space (family space) more vivid and that will incite all of us in the family to gather around that space."

So, that's this month's resolution. I really hope it comes out well. Let's cross our fingers. When I'm done with that project, I will share the before and after photos. I think that if we all begin working on smaller spaces, our big project will feel less difficult or impossible, because we will not worry about time or money as we will be doing it a little at a time.

If you, like me, have neglected your garden, begin working on it like me, in small parts. Oh, and don't forget to involve your family or friends. Hard work can feel less daunting if we make it fun. It is true that when you live with our family, we often delegate certain shores to certain people; however, gardening is a time where the whole family can unite to help each other, learn, and most importantly spend time together.

Honestly, I do not know anything about gardening, but with my dad's guidance I know we will be able to finish this small project successfully. Summer is rapidly approaching so we need to hurry and prepare so that we can start enjoying time together outside.

Currently our garden consists of "desert" plants because they require less maintenance. However, that does not mean that we can neglect them completely. It is important to look for products that will benefit the particular plants you are using. For this project I'm going to use a bag of SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO Cactus, Palm, and Citrus Potting Mix to add some more to my existing plants.

My Dad always uses the brand SCOTTS MIRACLE-GRO as it is his trusted brand because he says that it helps keep the plants healthy. That is why I will probably also head to Walmart to buy additional products from SCOTTS, like the MIRACLE-GRO Shake and Feed that helps plants grow stronger.

If you live in a small space, do not worry, that is not an excuse to not garden. There is no need to feel left out. Visit this Site for tips and tricks on how to garden in small spaces.

Uff! now comes the hard part, getting to work! When I'm done with this project, I will make sure to share before and after photos with you. So stay tuned. I cannot wait to put a chic twist to our "desert like" garden. Summer is all about fun colors and I know my mom also hopes to make it look more vivid! I cannot wait to start enjoying summer with my family and friends. But first, we need to get together to make it more inviting for our guests and ourselves.

Remember to use the Miracle Gro Potting Mix for use on your pots and the Garden Soil when planting directly in the ground. I know the name says it all, but for some of us gardening newbies may think that they are all the same hehe.
_____Recuerden de usar el Miracle Gro Potting Mix si van a plantar en maceta yel Garden Soil si plantaran directamente en el suelo. Ya se que parece logico pero muchos de nosotros, los nuevos en gardenia, no sabemos la diferencia!
